🔖 The Indic NLP Catalog

A Collaborative Catalog of Resources for Indic Language NLP

The Indic NLP Catalog repository is an attempt to collaboratively build the most comprehensive catalog of NLP datasets, models and other resources for all languages of the Indian subcontinent.

Please suggest any other resources you may be aware of. Raise a pull request or an issue to add more resources to the catalog. Put the proposed entry in the following format:

[Wikipedia Dumps](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/)

Add a small, informative description of the dataset and provide links to any paper/article/site documenting the resource. Mention your name too. We would like to acknowlege your contribution to building this catalog in the CONTRIBUTORS list.

👍 Featured Resources

Indian language NLP has come a long way. We feature a few resources that are illustrative of the trends in recent times along various axes and point to a bright future.

  • Universal Language Contribution API (ULCA): ULCA is a standard API and open scalable data platform (supporting various types of datasets) for Indian language datasets and models. ULCA is part of the Bhasini mission. You can upload, discover models, datasets and benchmarks here. This is one repository we really need and hope to see this evolving into a standard, large-scale platform for resource discovery and dissemination.
  • We are seeing the rise of large-scale datasets across many tasks like IndicCorp (text corpus/9 billion tokens), Samanantar (parallel corpus/50 million sentence pairs), Naamapadam (named entity/5.7 million sentences), HiNER (named entity/100k sentences), Aksharantar (transliteration/26 million pairs) , etc. These are being built using either large-scale mining of web-resource or large human annotation efforts or both.
  • As we aim higher, the datasets and models are achieving higher language coverage. While earlier datasets would be available for only a handful of Indian languages, then for 10-12 languages - we are now reaching the next frontier where we are creating resources like Aksharantar (transliteration/21 languages), FLORES-200 (translation/27 languages), IndoWordNet (wordnet/18 languages) spanning almost all languages listed in the Indian constitution and more. Datasets and models spanning a large number of languages.
  • Particularly, we are seeing datasets getting created for extremely low-resourced languages or languages not yet covered in any dataset like Bodo, Kangri, Khasi, etc.
  • From a handful of institutes who pioneered the development of NLP in India, we now have an increasing number of institutes/interest groups and passionate volunteers like AI4Bharat, BUET CSE NLP, KMI, L3Cube, iNLTK, IIT Patna, etc. who are contributing to building resources for Indian languages.
